when we’re apart
we move like one
if I knew, you were leaving us
I’d run to raise the child alone
so your soul would always have a second home
the sun departs as well did you
the foolish queen - a tear and yet,
a smile still on her face
is put to death over my demise
and your disgrace
what could you do
when these moments in time sway
the next today was in your way
again I wake wishing to fade away
feeling the same as that first day
the sea will part and you will lie still
against the wall of water
I breathe the flood, nurse the sting
the wound where you withdrew
I wish your want your sound our thing,
your amber eyes, I never knew
comfort is becoming - I am, the salt burn
filling my lungs akin
my ocean brethren
lie still in soil or sand
without within that autumnal den
slipping losing so numb my hand
arise anew like I did then
what could you do
when these moments in time sway
the next today was in your way
again I wake wishing to fade away
feeling the same as that first day
